Virus TI vs XS8 Part I

Virus TI and XS8 unite! Here's another improvised short song adventure demoing some sounds I've created using the Virus with the XS8 keeping it company. Both keyboards can control each other via MIDI, so the XS8 sequencer can send up to 16 channels of data to the Virus in sequencer mode. In this demo, only a single Virus channel (16) is used in song/pattern mode from the XS8.

Akon - Right Now
XS8: Pads and Arpeggio
vTI: Lead (Preset)

Leona Lewis - Better In Time
XS8: Drums, strings, and piano.
vTI: Bass (Preset)

[jakisidiota2]

hey can you make a cover Black gives way to blue, AIC?

@jakisidiota2 Good song... guitars sound nice on this keyboard, but it's really hard to emulate. It might be easier if I get some sort of sequencer software up and running again on my PC.

the very first improv .... ooh daaamn - awesome !!!!

@Nugitt Thanks! I barely have time to exploit the full capabilities of the keyboards and show it on video. Have you hard ATBs new tracks? He has some nice synths. The same goes to Kaskade. I've managed to come close to reproducing some of their sounds. It doesn't take long... maybe 15-30 min. tops. Someday I'll find time to produce some more videos of some sounds I've created.

@xDIGITONIUMx Awesome im still new to producing trance, but i feel that the virus TI would work perfectly for this genre. :) great video mate! sub'd :D

@Nugitt Believe it or not both of my keyboards were purchased used off Ebay. I was fortunate to get the Virus in like new condition for under $2k. Thanks to the falling dollar, these things are over $3k new. This is one keyboard I will never give up. It is so fun to play with and to create some fat, smooth, video game, or some other crazy sounds. Changing out the LEDs is just icing on the cake 8D
